Does your bike have to sit outside year round? - Page 2

Garaged here. The Frontier suffers the elements in favor of the R1's having a nice, cozy garage to live in.

Around here (Jax in general), I'd be less worried about a bike being out in the elements, than a bike getting stolen. I've known people in first floor apartments who keep their bikes in the living room because bike theft here has been pretty bad at times.

Mine spent its first night outside last night.

I have a shed for it out back. And it goes in my basement for storage.

Late spring to late fall the ZR1100 is in the shed. Now it's in the basement garage since the tractor with snow thrower gets "top billing" in the shed.

I must admit it does start a bit easier coming out the basement garage on those cold mornings.

I have over 3 stalls worth of garage right now, and plan on adding on when I get home... so no, it doesn't sit outside. None of my shit does.

garaged.

Garaged since we've lived in the house.
When at the apt, they stayed in the basement. If we were planning on riding much they would stay on the front porch but it wasn't like forever.

If I leave mine outside, it will get jacked. I already had 2 bikes jacked by over the borders, so mine are always garaged.

Sadly, I have to keep my bike at a friend's house with a garage.

Mines garaged atm, but before that it was under a carport. I chain it up when its outside but I don't worry too much about it getting stolen.

I have a 4 car garage.

The bikes are very comfy.
